Peter of AHA MEDIA says

Today we dropped in on a little cafe called The Baker and The Chef on Cambie St in Vancouver

We ordered breakfast, it was noon and they were still serving breaky, bonus! We got the Ham and Cheese Omelet and “All Day Breakfast” (sausage, eggs, hashbrowns, and toast).

The servings were huge as we couldn’t even finish our food. The ham and cheese omelet was stuffed with so much meat! Very delighted to see this 🙂

The price was great, the server was very attentive and polite, and the atmosphere was excellent.

We would certainly go back and also recommend this place all our friends! 🙂

Oppenheimer Park Community Art Project Fundraiser in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES)

October 13, 2012 ahamedia Leave a comment

Community Art Project Fundraiser: In addition to regular supplies for applied art programs at Oppenheimer, we will supply small wooden block canvasses for participants to donate art for the fundraiser. Participants willing to donate their work to our fundraiser will be supporting local artists in the community. Through sales of these small paintings, prints, collage, text, drawings, etc. during the Gachet & Oppenheimer Park Community Art Show opening reception (as well as the sales from the Art Cart) we hope to raise the money needed to support a regular slot for the Art Cart/artists at the Sunday Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood (DNC) Street Market & Fairs.

Miami Mike says

Hey guys!!! I went to Rexall Pharmacy in Tinseltown Mall today to pick up some coconut water and dog food for Florida.

There was a rude woman working there asked me to leave and told me that there sick of my kind of people disrupting and stealing.

Little does she know that I own the One Stop Shop Cards and Games down the hall from here and that I have been here in the mall for 6 yrs!

So I just left ;0( .

Hendrik of AHA MEDIA says:

Hello kiddies, what did you learn in school today?
Today is 10/11/12!
Next year we have 11/12/13
(That is if we have a next year
or another day after 21/12/12)
What’s after that I don’t know
because there is no 13th month!
Aren’t we lucky to be alive today!
